The new state-of-the-art wireless networks cover more than 18 miles of tunnels, designed to make travel and commuting easier, faster and more convenient. Riders can connect to the networks to use mobile tickets and the TrainTime app for up-to-the-minute information on train schedules and platform changes. They can also stay connected to work and enjoy streaming entertainment while in transit.

Atlantic Terminal is the LIRR’s third largest terminal, following Penn Station and the new Grand Central Madison. Jamaica Station is one of the busiest transportation hubs in the country, serving as a vital connection point for commuters and travelers throughout the region. Launching all Tier One cellular providers and Wi-Fi service across the Atlantic Branch marks the completion of a priority initiative for the MTA and LIRR.
